'Unfailing Accomplishment', n. of a Buddha, Lord of the Action Family.  +
Tibetans tend to attribute many, if not most hindrances to demons, sentient beings of the ''preta'' class  +
that result of an action which consists of a particular state of rebirth.  +
those of defilements (''kleśa'') and of knowables (''jñeya''), see p. 405, n.13.  +
meditative absorption, concentration meditation, n. of the fifth Perfection. Four form and four formless ''dhyānas'' are taught  +
for most purposes, there are six P. a Bodhisattva must practise — Giving, Morality, Patience, Joyous Energy, Meditative absorption (''dhyāna'') and Wisdom. In the scheme of the ''Daśa-bhūmika-sūtra'', the list is extended to ten by the addition of Skill in Means, Vow, Power and Wisdom-knowledge, but very little is taught of these extra four. Overwhelmingly the most important is the P. of Wisdom (''prajñā-pāramitā''), to which a major branch of the Sūtra and commentarial literature has been devoted.  +
when seven suns blaze and the whole world is consumed in a firestorm  +
a type of demon, presumably the followers of the ''daitya'' (or ''asura'') Tāraka.  +
'Lord', 'Blessed One'; fem. ''Bhagavatī'': a title of Buddhas  +
a mother-goddess, identified with Pārvatī, Durgā, etc.; it is prophesied that she will one day be reborn as the Buddha Umeśvara.  +
